Diesel is a 1-year-old pit bull terrier available at the Humane Society of Pennsylvania as of Jan. 4, 2019.

Meet Diesel

"This happy guy is Diesel," wrote Melissa Spak of the HSBC. "He's a 1-year-old neutered male American pit bull terrier with a super cute brindle coat! Toys and exercise make him happiest and he would make an excellent jogging buddy. He has tons and tons of energy so he needs lots of exercise and structure."

One of Diesel's handlers at the HSBC said he is like a compressed spring before he has had a good run, but does calm down after some laps outside in the fenced area.

He was a happy boy when I met him Thursday who was extremely excited to get outside and explore.

Frodo is a 2.5-year-old neutered male cat with a condition that needs some special care. He is available at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County as of Jan. 4, 2019.

Meet Frodo

Frodo is a sweet and affection tabby neutered, male, short-haired cat who is just shy of 2.5 years old. He has been at the ARL since Nov. 7.

He suffers from Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex, which is a skin condition that happens when white blood cells come together to cause a lump to form. Allergies usually start to form in cats with EGC at around age 2 according to PetMD.com.

The ARL states on his intake sheet that the flare-ups don't typically need medical assistance and that he does best on a grain-free diet.
